 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
As illustrated in the drawings, lifting strap 11 is woven of a durable, flexible material such as nylon, with strands 12 of a rubberized material in the weave on the back side of the strap. At one end of the strap, the end portion 13 is folded back upon itself and stitched to form a loop 14, with the rubberized strands on the inner side of the loop. A label 16 is affixed to the front side of the strap near the loop and, in the embodiment illustrated, is secured to the strap by the same stitches 17 that form the loop.
The strap typically has a length on the order of 20-22 inches and a width on the order of 1.5 inches. As illustrated in FIG. 4, it is looped about the wrist of a user by passing the free end 18 of the strap through loop 14 to form a larger loop 19 which encircles the wrist, with the free portion of the strap and being wrapped in helical fashion about a weight lifting bar 21, or the like, with the rubberized strands 12 facing the bar.
The rubberized strands extend lengthwise of the strap and provide enhanced gripping properties for the side of the strap which faces the object be gripped. In the embodiment illustrated, the rubberized strands are arranged in two groups 22 of eight strands each, and the two groups are disposed side-by-side and spaced laterally apart along the strap.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, the strap is made from a web 24 of woven fabric which is approximately twice as wide as the finished strap, with the two groups of rubberized strands 12 in lateral edge portions 26 of the web. The edge portions are approximately one-fourth as wide as the web and half as wide as the finished strap, and they are folded over the central portion 27 of the web along longitudinally extending fold lines 28, with the selvedge edges 29 of the web coming together near the longitudinal centerline of the strap. The folded-over edge portions are secured to the central portion by suitable means such as over-weaving or stitching to form a substantially flat two layer strap, with the central portion of the web serving as a base for the layer with the rubberized strands.
Once the two layer structure has been formed, it is cut into lengths for the individual straps, and the raw ends of the individual straps are stitched to prevent them from fraying. One end portion of each strap is then folded over and stitched to itself to form loop 14 and to secure label 16 to the strap.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 7 and 8, the material is a flat, multi-layer woven fabric with rubberized strands in the top layer only. In this material, four layers of warp strands 31, 32, 33, 34 are woven together in an over-under pattern with a weft strand 36 which is common to all of the layers. As best seen in FIG. 9, the two uppermost layers 31, 32 are woven together, as are the two lowermost layers 33, 34. Inner layers 32, 33 are also woven together to form an interlocking structure. Rubberized strands 37 are included in the top layer of warp strands and are woven only with the strands in the second layer. Hence, the rubberized strands are confined to the top layer of the weave and do not go all the way through the material.
In this embodiment, rubberized strands 37 are arranged in two groups 38, 38 of eight strands each near the edges 39 of the material.
When formed into a lifting strap, the flat interwoven fabric is positioned with the rubberized strands on the back side of the strap. Then, as described above, one end portion of the strap is folded back upon itself and stitched to form a loop, with the rubberized strands on the inner side of the loop, and a label is affixed to the front side of the strap near the loop. This strap is used in the same manner as the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2.
The embodiment of FIGS. 11 and 12 is similar to the embodiment of FIGS. 7 and 8 except for the number and the location of the rubberized warp strands in the upper layer of the fabric. In this embodiment, the rubberized strands 41 are arranged in groups of three, with non-rubberized strands 42 between the groups, and woven into a diamond shaped pattern in the central portion 43 of the fabric. This material is used in the same manner as the embodiment of FIGS. 7 and 8 in making a strap, with the rubberized strands on the back side of the strap for engagement with the bar or object to be lifted.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 13-14, the lifting strap includes a wrist wrap 45 comprising an elongated band 46 of flexible material such as a nylon web with a cushion or pad 47 of a material such as neoprene toward one end of the band. The cushion is on the front side of the band and is attached to the band by stitching 48. A buckle 49 is attached to the end of the band near the cushion, with the end portion of the band being wrapped about one leg of the buckle and stitched to an adjacent portion of the band to secure the buckle.
Hook and loop fasteners 51, 52 are attached to the back side of wrist band 46 for securing the device about the wrist of a person using it. In the embodiment illustrated, hook fastener 51 is near the free end of the band, and loop fastener 52 is behind the cushion, with the loop faster being longer than the hook fastener so that the hook fastener can be engaged with different portions of the loop fastener to accommodate wrists of different sizes.
A grip strap 54 extends from the upper side of cushion 47. This strap is similar in structure to strap 11 in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, and consists of an elongated length of flexible fabric 56, such as nylon, with rubberized strands 57 woven into the fabric on the front side of the strap. Alternatively, strap 54 can be similar in structure to the embodiment of FIGS. 7 and 8 or the embodiment of FIGS. 11 and 12, or it can be of other suitable structure with enhanced gripping properties on one side of the strap. In the embodiment illustrated, the proximal end portion of the strap is disposed between the back side of cushion 47 and the front side of wrist band 46, as viewed in FIG. 13, and is affixed to the wrist band and cushion by stitching 59, with the rubberized strands on the side of the gripping strap facing the cushion and not on the side facing the wrist band.
In use, the wrist wrap 45 is positioned about the wrist as illustrated in FIG. 15, with cushion 37 on the front or palm side of the wrist, buckle 48 on the outer side, and grip strap 54 extending along the palm and fingers of the hand. The free end of wrist band 46 is passed through the buckle, folded back over the remainder of the band and pulled to tighten the wrap snugly about the wrist. The free end portion is pressed against the portion of the band behind the cushion to engage the hook portion 51 of the fastener with the loop portion 52 and thereby secure the device in place.
Then, as illustrated in FIG. 16, the free portion of grip strap 54 is wrapped in helical fashion about bar 61 or object to be lifted, with the rubberized strands 57 facing the bar. When the object is lifted, the weight of the object is transferred to the wrist, and the padded wrist wrap provides both support and cushioning for the wrist during lifting.
The invention has a number of important features and advantages. The rubberized strands facing the bar provide enhanced gripping properties with better control and greater safety in the lifting of heavier weights.
It is apparent from the foregoing that a new and improved lifting strap has been provided. While only certain presently preferred embodiments have been described in detail, as will be apparent to those familiar with the art, certain changes and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.
